Security researchers warn of new 'clickjacking' browser bugs

The hackers are aware of it and concerned. The big browser companies are working on a patch.

I'm running Firefox's NoScript in the meantime. I've turned off my Firefox plug-ins except AdBlock and ones for my anti-virus software. NoScript's been annoying where I've wanted to copy and paste text from a webpage but I'd rather not be clicking on invisible content.

Thanks for the warning.

Any reason why the other firefox plug-in might cause a problem?
